CNN employs smart people and, as you might expect, they ask good questions. I always watch CNN and would love to be part of their team because they seem to be less biased than many other outlets such as Fox or MSNBC.
It was a relatively basic interview process, but delivering successful responses required an understanding of editorial and breaking news process. Specific knowledge of CNN platforms was beneficial and well received by interviewers. Language proficiency was not valued. Experience beyond news production was not valued.
